Eight types of roof bolts commonly used in coal mining industry are as follows: (a) mechanical anchors, (b) resin point, (c) full-column single-type anchors, (d) dual-resin system, (e) friction rock stabilities, (f) wooden dowels, (g) fiberglass dowels, and (h) spin to stall resin bolts.

longhole drill rigs for underground drilling and bolting are engineered to minimize ore loss and dilution by drilling straight and accurate holes up to 54 meters (177 feet) in length. We offer a comprehensive range of boom types, hydraulic rock drills, carrier size classes and tool selections to ensure optimum hole quality every time.

JENNMAR Canada moves into new 50,000 Sq. ft. buiding in Sturgeon Falls, Ontario. JENNCHEM, LLC begins providing chemical solutions to the mining and tunneling industries. JENNMAR opens a manufacturing facility in Santiago, Chile. Sales offices in Mexico, Peru, and Spain.

In one aspect of the invention, an apparatus and related methods for installation in a borehole formed in a face of a mine passage comprises an elongated bolt including a spiral shaft portion for positioning in the borehole. A hardened, stationary resin nut formed in only part of the borehole, preferably spaced from the distal end thereof, receives the spiral shaft portion of the bolt.

A 3rd generation roof bolter canopy air curtain (CAC) has been developed and constructed by J.H. Fletcher & Co., Inc. As with the previous generation of the CAC, this design uses the principle of providing uniform airflow across the canopy area as recommended by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. The new modifications include a plenum that is constructed of a …

The roof bolting machine was a J.H. Fletcher model CHDDR roof bolter, a dual-head roof bolter. The wet collector system still uses a vacuum system to pull material from the vertical roof bolt hole but incorporates a water spray nozzle located inside the dust box to wet the incoming material.

Canada's Dux Machinery has launched a new shotcreting platform for underground mines. Measuring only 1.83 m wide, the S1-Remix Truck …

CAC systems have been shown to be an effective respirable coal mine dust control for roof bolters in a laboratory setting with dust control efficiencies ranging from 14% to 75%. Field studies revealed that the dust removal can be as high as 91% [ 11, 12, 13 ].

The United States had developed a classification system for coal measures, called CMRR (Coal Mine Roof Rating), which involves following affecting factors: stratified thickness of immediate roof, shear strength of weak plane, rock compressive strength, number of roof layers, rock sensitivity to water, water content, and so on.

A combined drill bit and roof bolt and a method for forming a bore hole in a mine roof and for reinforcing same. The drill bit and roof bolt form the same structural element which preferably comprises an elongate hollow tube. On one end of the tube is formed a multi-bladed bit. The diameter of the hole cut by the blades is somewhat larger than the diameter of the elongate tube.

The two primary processes for mining coal underground are longwall mining and room and pillar mining. Longwall mining employs a system of rail-mounted shearers that rapidly cuts the coal and deposits it on a conveyer for removal from the mine. Hydraulic roof supports protect the shearers as they move along the rail. After a complete

Wedge type bolts were first used for roof bolting. They were installed by pushing them in against the top of the hole. A roof bolt plate was, then, placed on the bottom of the roof bolt, and a nut was used to tighten the plate against the roof. Subsequently, the development of equipment for drilling holes and the use of roof bolts advanced further.

A lightweight jack for supporting the roof of a mine until permanent supports are in place. The jack is carried by a roof bolter or similar mining equipment on the end of a support arm. A hinge box is mounted on the sidewall of the roof bolter and one end of the arm is hingedly received therein. A support plate extends from the sidewall outwardly below the arm.

The illustrated mine support system 26 consists of two elongate timber props 28, two headboards 10 as described above, two roof bolts 30 and five prestressing grout bags 32. The timber props 28 may merely be so-called stick props, or they may be of more sophisticated design such as PIPESTICKS (trade mark).

Because of their central importance, roof bolts have received more research attention than any other ground control topic, with the possible exception of coal pillars. Numerous roof bolt design methods have been proposed, but a recent survey paper concluded that none "has gained any acceptance by the coal mining industry" [Fuller 1999].

The Telltale is used extensively in coal mines in the United Kingdom. The Telltale is a rigid bar anchored in the roof and slightly protruding from the borehole at the roof line. The protruding end is covered with different colored bands of reflective tape each indicating more pronounced movement. Recently, at a mine in West ia the Miner ...

Certainly they had almost no vertical stiffness, and the amount of deadweight that they could transmit to the ribs was limited, particularly where the coal was friable or fractured. Little wonder, then, the Bureau's Edward Thomas wrote in 1948 that:

"This bolt length produced an injection zone to 6 ft above the roof line when used with a standard 1.25- × 48-in. resin cartridge for anchorage," Stankus said, adding that a single cable was installed approximately every 8 ft near the center of the entry and polyurethane was then used in conjunction with the previously installed supplemental support.
